clearly Homer was dominating

He needs to move up

Good to see the Boras Three together again

Until Gutierterrez is shipped out for some crappy CF

sarcasm-dar broken

I’m on my mobile, so I can’t do anything fancy.

But who are we to question Dayton?

the final step in his self destruction as a GM

we need a "Moore-o-Meter"

I want to know how much longer/how many losses/how many bad decisions he is away from being “embattled.”

When did Gutierrez come off of indefinite suspension?

Unless I'm wrong...

Word from Greg Schaum is that

Joe Dickerson of the Naturals has retired

Joseph Dickerson has retired….to many injuries and tough road ahead from recovery

go thru your top 30 Royals prospect lists for this season (go thru baseball america’s)

2 guys have retired…two have not thrown a pitch this season…several have regressed

for me the fastest risers are Montgomery and Lough….Parraz, certainly will crack the top 15 (as of right now)

My list after this year will be interesting

so, now when hosmer plays like shit it’s because he’s at such an advanced level for his age.

Better music video

Not a better song, but definitely a better video…

God, watching this video reminds me of puberty

BOOM! ROASTED!

I'm OK with the Hosmer promotion

Yes, the power numbers aren’t what we would ideally like them to be – but I think that will come with time. The plate discipline numbers look pretty good, and I think he started poorly and has been improving over time, which is what they are probably looking at.

At this point, I am more optimistic about Hosmer than Moustakas, primarily because of the BB and K rates of each.

Mr Glass, this is a pro sports team, not a retail store - run it like one!

i just don't get this promotion

he doesn’t play up to expectations the whole season, gets on a short hot streak, cools off, gets promoted.

i’ve read about his swing not being there, that he’s lost bat speed and needs to make some mechanical adjustments to it. moore is bairding the hell out this organization lately.
